Trooper, may you rest in peace. You surely saved lives by your presence; or the position of your cruiser. For me, a total senseless death or sacrifice. So extremely sad . My immediate thoughts are of your family, friends, and Fellow Troopers. I know the risk. How many hundreds of times have I covered collision scenes like you did. So very sad your sacrifice; your loss... RiP Brother in blue.
